Sorry, I cannot explain it understandably.

That more how I understood it, @Apech Language (in that view) constitutes reality. Claiming an observation via language seems to constitute a different layer of reality (for lack of better words), in that view. To rely on feelings, wishes and personal needs and preference is therefore deemed âvalid enoughâ, just as well as empirical sense data (both faulty, but necessary nonetheless). A claim that is backed up, constitutes reality. Language is reality, then, not a map thereof. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

Judith Butler is the name I associate with your question. It might be, that there has been someone before, who proposed that conceptual change and also the linguistic turn, but she made the most noise. So it seems to rely on the concept of a performative model of gender, e.g. it relies on language theory (âperformativeâ), which originated in the wake of Austin, Searle etc. An act of speaking is conceptually separated into several sub acts, where one of them is âillocutionaryâ, e.g. creates a reality of itself through speaking, as empirical sense data is frowned upon as a reliable source for observation, language instead is used as the source. Or so I understood it.

Would you care to make it a topic?

I tend to disagree. whatever truth might be reached may still feel warlike and painful, considering the boundaries would get only get dimmer or thinner then⌠(not fully disappearing) while not ready for dissolution if that makes sense at all.

because? his perspective is/was provocative to the then common/current standard? what are you referring to exactly?
-
Differentiation. Seems contradictory to the approach for reuniting with God, no? And to Matthew 7:1: Judge not lest you be judged. (By the same standards maybe.) A purification of sorts through the process of differentiation for a clearance of sorts? Odd.

Thank you for your explanation @stirling, I had read the article on wiki before, but it seems to have a very wide array of meanings and I was baffled at the plural. Itâs clearer now!
-
Whatâs âlogosâ in your view? @Apech Reason, rationality, differentiating abilities of the mind, grasping word concepts?
-
Lovely, amusing reading, thanks! @manitou, concerning Someone here did, and someone else whose user name Iâve forgotten, but who had a similar way of writing as the one above. @stirling, what please is the concept of âall dharmasâ, - isnât there just one? Which definition or explanation can be given for this word concept?
-
No way out of this, neither dead nor alive. I expect even thought conceptualizations will thus forcibly be moved accordingly, - perfidious - neither free speech, nor free thought might remain. Regardless of the topic. (Just remember a few years back or take a look at a different country that now experiences similar sanctions.) Nothing will remain. If itâs experienced. Oblivion seems to be the only solid answer. Sitting and forgetting - strangely - might be the only sane reaction to this.

Marvellous, how everyone has their own constant unique direct and unfailing and perception of âtrue realityâ and âobjectivityâ! I do admire those who have it, life must be a lot easierâŚ.

Whatâs the appropriate cat food?

stolen by a thief? how's that? how do you even know, you've lost it? (is that cause for the bad attitude against women around some newcomers? is a woman not at the same risk to a thief? why/or why not?) -
Is a nondual realisation equivalent to a kundalini activation?

So itâs about setting in motion a causal chain from oneâs own behalf - action and inaction? Thought the old daoist concept of causality (shi) had a different interpretation of this⌠maybe someone can explain this?
-
Just an opinion while speaking to a friend: life tasks should be looked at like through the emotional âwuxingâ model as a task where one has still troubled emotions burried, triggered or stirred and it should be acted upon this and not regarding rational outcome. E.g. if fear is a recurring problem, decisions shouldnât be based on safety issues, money, insurance and personal flimsies, but on working through the emotional issue. (Iâm not sure if I really own this opinion, but the image seemed promising yet chaotic and irrational.)
-
Nah, thatâs the nice madness, you should happily enjoy if you can. (In fact I didnât read your full poem, so I donât know if my statement is sincere here.) The general human madness is on different level. It has no hope. And there is a difference between heart love and erotical love indeed (having read your poem now) although at times it might coincide.
-
So thereâs a clear difference stated.
-
I hardly ever notice now.
-
Do we ever go back ?
-
Friedrich Nietzsche Too late, my friend. My desire for truth was propelled by love unrequited. I donât think I was ready to look behind that veil. (But I didnât pull it either.)
-
donât we need both to live functionally? designed means there is a creator with intention? why does it work and why works it in the central channel, what is the difference to the mundane? potential is bound to decrease at some point⌠does it rise ever again? always questions, never answers, sorry.

Das Bums life lessons! Amazing!

Sorry for the derailing: where is this from and what does it mean?
